Improve your guitar playing and master the fretboard with world renowned guitarist and best-selling author David Mead‘s CAGED guitar app. The CAGED guitar system has been used by guitarists for decades to understand and map the guitar fretboard. The system is based on the relationship between the five basic chord patterns (C, A, G, E and D) and how they can be joined together to help you find any chord in any key wherever you are on the fretboard. The David Mead : CAGED app gives you all the tools and information you need to master this trusted system quickly and efficiently. The app contains: - Eight easy to follow lessons that take you from the basics of chord construction to understanding the full power of the CAGED system across the fretboard. - Each lesson includes interactive fretboard diagrams that allow you to see and hear the CAGED chord shapes, the notes and intervals they contain and the best way to play them on your guitar. - Reference tools to help you visualise the entire CAGED fretboard in any key and to see the CAGED chord shapes around any root note. - Exercises to help you practise the key parts of the CAGED theory and build up your knowledge wherever you are and whenever you want. - Progress tracker to monitor your performance on each exercise and highlight where you can target your practice most effectively. David Mead is an acoustic guitarist, writer, journalist and teacher. Find out more about David, his music and his best-selling guitar books at www.DavidMead.net.
Where are the minor chords?
Does not show any shapes for minor chords. Can I get a refund?
Worth It
If the guitarist makes a consistent commitment, this app will produce the results. This is a great way to learn elements of music theory as it applies to the guitar.
Need an update to work with the current IOS
Needs update
Lacking
Not a lot of detail for such a highly rated app, especially for a beginner. The app is also in need of update so that it will continue to work with newer versions of IOS according to Apple yet it's still being sold.
Good stuff
I am enjoying the app - especially finding the nicely-worded explanations and slow ramping-up of the intensity of the exercises very helpful.
Perfect learning tool
Don't let the older design style fool you -- this app is the most effective way to learn the fretboard hands-down. David Mead truly understands the brain's learning process. I recommend getting this in combo with JustinGuitar's Note Trainer app, and David Mead's own Guitar Gym app.
Big David mead fan
